Enhanced integer parsing in OSSL_PARAM_allocate_from_text
Fixes #14041 and additional bugs discovered by the newly created
tests.
This patch:
- Introduces support for 0x prefixed integers
- Fixes parsing of negative integers (negative numbers were
shifted by -2)
- Fixes ability to parse maximal unsigned numbers ("too small
buffer" error used to be reported incorrectly)
- Fixes a memory leak when OSSL_PARAM_allocate_from_text fails
leaving a temporary BN allocated
